This stirring Celtic adventure composes the compelling tale of a big-hearted and inspiring Irish rebel woman, Grace O'Malley. O' Malley was a real-life heroine who launched an extraordinary assault against the military forces of her fierce rival Queen Elizabeth I of England. A larger than life pirate, lover, commander and mother in 16th Century Ireland, O' Malley's quest, to save her only true love and inspire her people to victory, climaxes in this awesome maritime clash in scenes complete with cannons, foam, blood, sailing ships, and the cries of the human animal staking territorial claims in this romantic world of ours.
This excellent, frothing production blends classic storytelling with a dramatic musical score resplendent with the vibrant dynamics of Irish dance and song, setting the stage for an enthralling and emotional spectacle.
The Pirate Queen's original score from world renowned team of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, enjoys direction by Tony Award-winner Frank Galati and a wonderful cast of 40 led by Stephanie J. Block, Hadley Fraser, Linda Balgord, Marcus Chait, Jeff McCarthy and William Youmans.
It is heartily recommended that you seek out tickets as they are being snapped up by those eager to go and experience this Gaelic war-cry for themselves, and who can blame them?
